Photographs and condition

Use close-ups to show paper, creases, stains, pinholes, tears, edges and any holder or certificate. Show wear in context and include a closer image of any serious damage.
Storage, accessories and handover
Before packaging the item for handover, keep each banknote flat in a clean archival sleeve, away from moisture and direct light. Do not fold, press, erase or clean it.
When preparing for collection, keep each banknote or sheet with its holder, certificate, envelope and provenance documents.
